TimelineMax is part of the GreenSock Animation Platform and helps you animate for the web. Using TimelineMax you can control animation sequences of “anything JavaScript can touch” (such as CSS properties and SVG) though you don’t need to be a JavaScript God to use it!

Some are simple, others are still in development and the occasional one is just downright weird! This collection of tutorials and quick tips will get you up to speed with some of the more unusual HTML tags.
